More than bed bugs: Heat kills pathogens and freshens air

News sources around the world have acutely focused on the spread of Covid-19— the coronavirus. Dr. Tom Frieden, former director of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and former commissioner of the New York City Health Department, told CNN that the virus has created more questions than experts have answers. What the experts agree upon is that the virus will continue to spread.
Armor & Shield does not have the solution to eradicate the virus worldwide. What we do have is a proven methodology that quickly and efficiently kills pathogens and other organisms: heat.
Heat will kill organisms floating in the air, residing deep in furniture, and sterilize surfaces in one concise treatment. No wiping down surfaces. No spraying chemicals or disinfectants.
And, heat will also kill bed bugs and all other insects and their eggs.
As we developed our technology and sought clinical proof of its efficacy, GreenTech Heat compiled a listing of studies from academic laboratory sources and trusted epidemiological institutions— including the World Health Organization and Health Canada— for many microbials including protoza, bacteria, fungi, and viruses. Their findings prove that heat kills organism floating in the air and residing deep in furniture, and sterilize surfaces in one concise treatment. GreenTech Heat has published the Compendium of Thermal Death Points in their Bed Bug Heat Treatment Field Guide since 2016. These folks know heat... and so does Armor & Shield.
A single treatment with temperatures only slightly higher and durations slightly longer than an aggressive bed bug treatment will eliminate organisms throughout the treatment area. Heat is a proven disinfectant. Medical professionals trust heat to sterilize surgical instruments.

Don’t take our word for it
I fought bed beds for over a couple of years trying everything I could find and no luck. I came across an ad for Armor & Shields. They responded very quickly. After one day and they are gone. There was no smell. I recommend them to anyone who is tired of these pests. My home is now my home.
